Rex Stout   (1886 – 1975) Be forewarned that a large number of the Archie Goodwin top 100 links refer not to our man-about-town but to his namesake, a US comic-book writer (1937–1998). Goodwin the artist was born in 1937, his parents’ bookshelves may have included Fer-de-Lance, The League of Frightened Men, and The Red Box. In a highly publicized dispute with writer Dorothy Thompson, Stout resigned from his post with Freedom House, but later was reconciled – after Miss Thompson quit as president of Freedom House – to become its treasurer in 1957, a post he held for many years. avenarius.sk /stout   (5766 words)

Salon Books "Cruddy" by Lynda Barry Barry's latest book, the richly illustrated novel "Cruddy," is as wrenching as Dorothy Allison's "Bastard Out of Carolina," but funnier. One summer afternoon on a porch in Madison, Wis., someone handed me "The Fun House," Lynda Barry's 1987 collection of comic strips. The bright blue book was open to a strip about some bored kids who wonder "what would it be like to cross 23rd Street and take a field trip up there where we never hardly were before."

Polite Dissent » 2006 » March: comics, medicine, and medical comics By the time this comic was on the shelves, Dr. Wertham’s infamous book Seduction of the Innocent had already been released (and excerpts published in the Ladies Home Journal) and the House Subcommittee on Juvenile Deliquency had already turned its eyes toward comics. Dorothy is one of the few comics the Polite-Wife, a non-comics person, will actually sit down and read.

NEWSARAMA - THE PAPER CURTAIN VI: The Wizard of Oz Factor Incidentally, if you’ve ever wondered why comic previews on the web often look slightly different than the books you pick up at the store, it’s because printing separates color into four plates of cyan, magenta, yellow and black, while computer monitors are based on a three-base-color RGB system. Colorists could be the comic book equivalent of the cinematographers in the movies. There’s a moment in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy recovers from her housebound trip via tornado and discovers that the sepia tones of her world have been replaced by the saturated color of Oz. www.newsarama.com /forums/showthread.php?postid=305514#post305514   (1463 words)

Bookreporter.com - STANDING IN THE RAINBOW by Fannie Flagg Resurrecting the lovable, laughable characters from her previous novel WELCOME TO THE WORLD, BABY GIRL, Flagg's latest effort STANDING IN THE RAINBOW is combination comic genius and tribute to the past. The friendly beautician whose letter of introduction endorses Rainbow at the outset of the book writes, "I like a book with a beginning, a middle and an end, and hopefully a plot and a few laughs in between." Simple demands for a simple town. As an example, in the '70s, Neighbor Dorothy's show is still on the air featuring bits such as "The Superior Way to Crack Hickory Nuts," while other stations are "blaring rock and roll." Strip malls and uber-stores impose upon the town, but never truly overtake it. www.bookreporter.com /reviews/080411935X.asp   (585 words)

HARRISON FORD at THESPIAN NET Afraid to be type-cast as a comic book hero, Harrison Ford took a daring chance when he went against type and starred in the lead role in "Witness" opposite Kelly McGillis. Harrison Ford and his brother Terence were raised by their parents Christopher, an advertising expert, and Dorothy.

Things I Can't Live Without: Todd McFarlane Background sketch: After making Marvel's Spider-Man series a top seller again in the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane left with other artists to create Image Comics, now the third-largest U.S. comic book publisher. Dark vision: His figures, McFarlane admits, often "take something everybody thinks is sugar and sweet and turn it on its head." His Twist Land of Oz series, for instance, features Dorothy in a tight leather S&M outfit, a zombielike Tinman, and a Scarecrow designed with, he says, "the emphasis on 'scare.'" McFarlane can relate to the sports fanatics who buy his toys: He also owns a minority interest in the Edmonton Oilers NHL team. www.inc.com /magazine/20050101/essentials.html   (505 words)
